Couple of tips if anyone wants them. You can use either a mouse or the arrows on your keyboard, but I’ve found that the mouse works best for both games. You don’t *actually* have to catch the candy in either Candy Bash or Candy Bash 2. You get points for just knocking it down. In Candy Bash 2 you can send more than one bean into the air at a time. In Candy Bash, the bean is the most important thing, everything else is just extra bonuses. If you can keep the bean in the air, the candy will get hit and fall down eventually. Sometimes the bean gets going extra fast and it looks like it has a little tail. Be especially careful then, because it won’t be going the same speed. Hope this helps!
Hi gingerdare , thanks so much for the great tips! the part about the bean having a little tail confused me. Can you explain a bit more? Thanks again!
It looks a bit like a comet tail. When the bean gets going fast, it’s almost like there are semi-translucent beans behind the actual bean, all of which fade out almost in the shape of a triangle or a comet tail. Does that help??
Wow I love the fridge… so happy I had saved my wheel of wow free spins for something good to come along and it did … Amazing!!!
I only have to spin the wheel one more time, since they had a bonus spin in Today’s Activities yesterday! But play Candy Bash is next to impossible. I am hugely lucky if I can score 1 or 2 points in it each round! Anyone have any tips for playing. I am using my mouse but still can’t get anywhere. Doing better on Candy Bash 2.
I agree Candy Bash is very hard to score points and I hardly ever score above 8 or 9. Here are a couple of tips. When the cookie starts to fall, try to line the middle of the hat with one of the squares up top where the candy falls out. I usually start in the middle of all the squares at the very beginning of the game. The sides of the hat makes the cookie go all over the place and it’s hard to follow it and the candy falling. When you use your mouse, try to go back and forth evenly because I’ve noticed the arrow, when using my mouse, can go outside the box of the game and is useless. Forget trying to have two cookies going at once. I focus on one cookie and if the candy is too far away, forget the candy and concentrate on the keeping the cookie going. Hope that all makes sense and good luck Katz1259!
Thank you so much BlueMoonCat! Great tips and I have written them down for next time Ganz decides to torture us with this as a challenge! (Hopefully I can still find them by then …. hahaha!) Have a great day!! *hugz*
It helps me to keep the cursor as close to the guy as possible. I believe it’s easier to control him. Catch both candy and the bean, but if you have to make a choice, always catch the bean.
Hi radish35, thanks so much for this tip for playing Candy Bash. I really appreciate it! Have a fabulous Friday! *hugz* *wanders off repeating over and over … “always catch the bean, always catch the bean, always catch the bean”
Hi @Katz1259! I’m glad you are seeing progress on Candy Bash 2. As for the bane that is Candy Bash, I don’t have a lot of tips except for keep your eye on the bean and get your sombrero under it. Catching candy is a bonus for me, because I struggle just to keep the bean in the air. I don’t remember the background always being so distracting. I’m wondering if that was an “upgrade” to the game? I know that it may not be much consolation, but you have 10 more days to reach this goal. At even 2 points per game, that’s just 2 games per day. I know that you might rather be having a root canal, but just think if you can persevere through the next 10 days you will be so proud and relieved as you sit back and admire your awesome new fridge. You can do it! I believe in you and the power of division!!
Hi @Beckinz8 ! Thanks you so very very much for the kind words and encouragement!! I was thrilled when on Wednesday Candy Bash was the game of the day and I got 40% bonus KC on every game I played. That sure made the challenge go faster and so much easier to complete!! YIPPEE !!!! I did it and I absolutely love my new fridge! oh and btw I have had 2 root canals in my life without any freezing. Much easier that way! Have a fantabulous Friday !! *Hugz*
I finished the Games I just have to spin Wheel of Wow 2 more times! I’m not really a fan of the 1st Candy Bash Game it was kinda hard!
The fridge is so beautiful, wow!! I can’t wait to complete this challenge. I just have to spin the wheel of wow 2 more times!! Good luck to everyone on this challenge :)
